What springs to go with KYB AGX?

I plan to buy some KYB AGX struts and some new springs but don't wanna buy performance springs that will drop my max 2".Does anybody know of any performance springs that'll go good with the KYB's but won't drop the car to 2"?Wanna upgrade from stock springs.Would like to know pricing also if available.

The Progress springs I have matched up with AGXs give me a nice firm ride (and it's not bone-jarring). The drop is 1.7"/1.5" (front/back). I previously had SE springs.

I guess I wasn't looking hard enough at finding some decent springs.I will take a look at the options cause I plan to hit the tracks by next year.Hopin for 12's or 11's with full interior.Did see a 98 with 150 shot run 12.1 with full interior.Auto too at that.And he didn't have much upgrades.

is it even possible to run low 12's in an automatic maxima with barely an engine mod in it?

The maxima is seen in this months magazine of body kits.I think that's what it's called.The cover has a yellow sports car.The specs read that he had a 95 max with a 97 or 98 motor with less miles,150 2 stage nitrous,KYB AGX,Ecu unit,slicks and intake.The article reads 12.1 from the track.It doesn't say anything bout headers,exhaust,turbo or supercharger mod.cause he said he only spent $1700 for the mods.He calls his max a grocery getter.

eibachs handle awsome, id get them. I have Intrax and with stock struts they suck.

BTW you are talking about Jime's car and it also runs on 115 octane (or so) when the nitrous is used, vibrant muffler, some weight reductions, and of course a drop resistor mod.

Well no **** they will suck if you still have the stock struts. I had my Intrax for over a year with Tokicos and no problem at all. Love the drop 1.75 front/rear and love the rides as well. I had H&R's before, although hated the drop, looked way to much like it was stock. So if you don't want to go as low as 2 in. I would say Intrax is your best bet. Also try to search for Apex springs, I know a couple of members over here had them. They are pretty rear and will give you a 1.6 inch drop in front and the rear. Good luck boss.

I got the agx-progress combo...I'm loving it! I don't like how it looks like my 3rd gen stock ride height, but it's still smooth, and handling is awesome....and it's on 1/4
